The original home for Reno hipsters, college kids and RGJ politics reporters is on the market for $1.4 million. The property includes the Lincoln Lounge bar, its back patio, parking lot, upstairs apartments and the Hub Coffee Roasters building on the corner of Evans and Fourth streets.

"My partner Justin (Owen) just had his first child, and I’ve got my first child coming in three weeks," said Ryan Gold, one of the owners. "We’ve got all kinds of projects. We’re looking to diversify and slim down."

The fate of the bar is unknown.

Gold said they are emotionally attached to Lincoln Lounge and love the neighborhood but need to manage their time for their new Redwood Rotisserie on Plumb Lane and a multi-family development they started planning on Fourth and Ralston streets.

The 110-year-old building started life with a bar, Gold said. It started as the Royal Hotel and Royal Bar. That later converted to the Reno Bazaar grocer, then became the Victory Market and Lincoln market, according to RenoHistorical.org.

Lincoln Market was named after the Lincoln Highway, which ran in part along Fourth Street. Gold said he and his partners are all from Illinois, the "Land of Lincoln," which explains the presidential motif inside.

When they bought it, it was the Reno Jazz Club. It still used boiler heating and radiators. The upstairs housed daily and weekly rentals with communal pay showers.

"It was a wreck; it was in shambles," Gold said.

They converted more than 10 motel rooms into loft-style apartments with one living room and kitchen surrounded by three master bedrooms and a separate studio apartment. Gold and a few others all lived in it for several years while running the bar.

"It reminded me of living in the city,” Gold said about the constant noise and activity.

Now the apartments are for sale with the rest of the property.

Behind the large back patio, another older building houses Hub Coffee Roasters coffee roastery. But Hub owner Mark Trujillo outgrew the space and Gold said he will be moving out soon, leaving behind another open space.

“We've had tons of interest," Gold said of the entire property for sale. "We’ve had some offers and we’re kind of waiting for the right fit."

The buyer can choose to continue running the Lincoln Lounge as is or change it to something else, whether that's a restaurant or another bar, Gold said.

He wants to find someone with a good idea for the property who will take care of it and carry on some kind of legacy instead of knocking it down or putting in a business that doesn't fit the corner.

"We’re in no rush," he said. "We don’t need to sell it so we’re waiting for the right person."
